WASHINGTON — VIRGINIA BEACH PROBE.

The Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation into complaints from black college students that they were roughed up by police in Virginia Beach, Va., during the Labor Day weekend. Department spokeswoman Deborah Burstion-Wade said Wednesday the FBI would review videotapes of police using clubs to clear the streets of black youth Sunday evening. The crackdown followed a night of rioting, looting and bottle-throwing.
